Creating a family history is a great way to preserve the history of your family for generations to come. Get started by following these three simple steps:

1. Create a Family Tree

The most popular methods to create family trees are:

Create with Software. If you're concerned about online privacy issues with the first option, then the next best option for easily creating your family tree is to use a family tree software. The most popular family tree software over the past decade is Family Tree Maker.

Create with Downloadable Forms. If you're working with a limited budget, the best option would be to download a free family tree template. This template would be used to write-in all of the family names and and dates that you know.

2. Fill In Gaps from Additional Sources

Ask Family or Relatives what they know about your family.

Search Online Databases for information about your Warren ancestors. Some of the database records that you can search include:

Ask Others Online to see if they may have additional information about your Warren family. One great way to do this is to post a message on the Warren Message Boards at Rootsweb.

3. Publish Your Warren Family History

When your family history is complete, be sure to preserve it in a archive quality format that can be passed down from generation to generation.

The best way to preserve your family history for future generations is to publish it as an archival quality, hard-covered publication with acid free materials. One of the best online book creation tools for family histories is available through Ancestry.com.
